Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 129

An assassin broke into Changninghou's mansion last night, and the next day Changninghou knelt down in the Yuanyang Hall to ask for orders from the Holy Spirit to send a hundred patrol battalions into the house.Outside the Yuanyang Hall, there were a group of civil servants and advisers waiting to discuss political affairs, and Pei Xuan was naturally among them. He was dressed in a purple robe and crane official uniform, which gave him a lot of heroism. When Yan Xiu walked out of the hall, Pei Xuan greeted him. Going forward, Yan Xiu saw that it was him, so he was more polite, and briefly described the situation in the mansion last night. Pei Xuan put his hands in his sleeves, and wrapped the wound on the back of his hand with silk, and his face was very cooperative:

"There is such a thing, the capital is important, and the thief is too arrogant, is the eldest lady okay?"

Regarding Pei Xuan's polite question, Yan Xiu secretly sighed, literati have their advantages, but at critical moments, they are not very useful.If he was a military commander, he might roll up his sleeves now and follow him to catch the thief, but he is so weak, he can only ask one question if he persists for a long time: Miss, is it all right?

"She is fine, don't worry, my son. I will come to the door tomorrow, please go back and tell the prince."

After saying this, Yan Xiu didn't intend to stay and catch up with Pei Xuan, so he lifted the corner of his robe and walked down the steps. The eunuch Bingbi in the inner hall came out to deliver a message, thinking that the emperor was going to invite everyone in to discuss political affairs, but he didn't It occurred to me that only Pei Xuan was summoned.

After entering the hall, after saluting Emperor Kant who was sitting at the top, all the other people in the hall left, which meant that Emperor Kant wanted to chat with his nephew alone, and Pei Xuan went to Emperor Kant himself without waiting for an announcement. Leaning against the dragon case, he picked up a paperweight and played with it.Emperor Kant squinted at him while reading the brochure, and said:

"I heard that you have fallen in love with Yanhou's daughter?"

Emperor Kande didn't want to talk nonsense with this idle nephew, so he directly pointed it out.

Pei Xuan didn't hide from him, nodded and said: "Well, I've found a match, I've already told Yanhou, my father didn't tell you about it, uncle?"

Emperor Kant raised the corner of his mouth: "It's true, but I didn't believe it at the time. At that time, the picture albums of girls in the entire capital were sent to you, and you didn't even look at it. Your father and I thought you were going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life. Son, why, is the Zhaohua county magistrate really superior?"

Speaking of his sweetheart, Pei Xuan naturally couldn't do without compliments: "That's natural, beautiful, smart, and like-minded with me, there is no better woman than her."

"I've never heard you praise a woman like this before. It seems that you are serious." Emperor Kant had heard of his nephew's pickiness for a long time, and now he is quite surprised after hearing what he said. .

"Seriously! There is nothing more serious than this!" Emperor Kant snorted coldly at Pei Xuan's words. He put down the memorial in his hand, finally raised his eyes to look at Pei Xuan, and said, "I think you are enough." Seriously. Tell me, who was the assassin in the Marquis of Changning last night?"

Few knew that Pei Xuan knew martial arts, so when Yan Xiu told the story of the assassins last night, Emperor Kant immediately thought of the connection between Pei Xuan and Miss Yan after listening to what Prince Gong said before contacting him.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from him, Pei Xuan grinned silly at Emperor Kant. Emperor Kant watched him grow up, and his love for this nephew was no less than those of his princes. It can even be said that his relationship with Pei Xuan is Even better than the relationship with the princes, Pei Xuan stayed with him the longest time and did the most things for him, not to mention that he was connected by blood. Therefore, Emperor Kant had always been tolerant and loving to this nephew, and Pei Xuan Xuan Ye strives for success, and he did not disappoint his cultivation, but when it comes to marriage, this child has a very different concept from others. That concept sounds like a single-minded infatuation, but it doesn't sound like a fool. He and Prince Gong Husband and wife are equally anxious, and they have been forced. When he was 16 years old, the three of them teamed up to force him once. This kid was lucky, and he left without saying goodbye. After hiding outside for more than half a year, he came back staggeringly. No matter how many hidden guards they sent to investigate, they still couldn't find his hiding place. After that, they learned about the kid's temper, and they didn't need to use strong methods anymore, because if they continued to force him hard, he might never come back for the rest of his life.

Forget it, in fact, this kind of thing, if you figure it out, it’s fine, anyway, it’s your own child, so how can you do it anyway, his background doesn’t require him to marry a powerful wife and family to consolidate his power, this is the consciousness of Prince Gong’s mansion, and also This child is considerate, but it is true that this child is too picky.

"What are you smirking at? Asking you something? I really didn't see it. You are very brave. Who is Yan Xiu? How many people have been killed on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang? You play tricks under his nose and expect him not to notice anything ?" Emperor Kant was also sweating for him, if he found out last night, it would be fun, fortunately this kid can still laugh.

"He can't notice it. I was careless yesterday." What Pei Xuan said was right, because he hadn't been in and out of the Marquis of Changning's mansion for a day or two. He didn't see that Yan Xiu was too vigilant, but last night he didn't expect that Yan Xiu had also arranged guards on the roof, so he appeared carelessly.

"It's really you? You! Oh, what do you want me to say about you? Didn't you ask your father to propose marriage? Can't you wait?" Emperor Kande expressed his anger at this kid's lack of measure : "I think your father and I have pampered you too much, making you forget even the most basic etiquette and shame, and keep saying that you like other girls, but look at what you have done, do you respect her?"

Regarding this point, Pei Xuan has a different opinion: "Uncle, how did I not respect her! She and I are innocent, and we didn't do anything, just talking and explaining lovesickness. Where are you going? She is so nice, why am I willing to disrespect her? Besides, two people who have made up their minds don't have a chance to meet each other on weekdays. If I don't do this, maybe I have to come here to kiss .”

"Nonsense, what is your identity? Is there a relative you can't get?" Emperor Kant was still very confident in his nephew, not to mention anything else, with this identity and appearance, he couldn't find a second one in the entire capital. .

Pei Xuan didn't think so: "Of course! You don't know this girl, she is fierce!"

The more Emperor Kant listened, the less he knew what the kid was talking about, so he gave him an angry look, and said, "Well, I don't bother with you! Anyway, take it easy for me, did you see that just now, your quasi-father-in-law just I asked for a hundred soldiers from the patrol battalion, I think it's time for you to experience the pain of lovesickness, think about it yourself, if someone finds out, then I won't protect you!"

Pei Xuan rubbed his nose. He didn't expect Yan Xiu to be so cautious. A hundred patrol battalion soldiers were stationed in the mansion. This meant that he would not give up until he was caught.

"Alas..." Sighing, Emperor Kant looked at him, thinking that he had realized something, but he didn't expect this kid to say again suddenly: "In that case, it seems that we can't go tonight..."

Emperor Kant couldn't help rolling his eyes again, and finally experienced what it was like for his son to be disobedient.I can't help but think of my sons, when they mentioned getting married and looking for a woman, their eyes are shining, and then look at this... I really don't understand, they are all surnamed Pei, why is there such a big difference.

Yan Xiu came to Prince Gong's mansion as promised, and Prince Gong and Pei Xuan met him in the study, so naturally they were talking about that.

"I have considered the matter that the prince mentioned two days ago. If I can get married with the palace, it will be the best thing."

King Gong and Pei Xuan looked at each other, Pei Xuan personally brought tea to Yan Xiu, with a warm expression and graceful movements, Yan Xiu looked at him like this, and worried again, would he regret it later, after all, the two In order to catch the assassin, he didn't sleep much all day and night. If he had a helper at this time, he wouldn't have worked so hard.

After receiving the water from Pei Xuan, he glanced at his right hand, where a piece of silk was wrapped, Yan Xiu asked with concern: "What's wrong with Shizi's hand?"

Pei Xuan looked down, and replied innocently to Yan Xiu without blushing, "Oh, it's been a few days, when I was moving books in the Library Pavilion, a little eunuch bumped into the bookshelf, I I stretched out my hand to block it, and the back of my hand was cut off by a scripture wrapped in gold leaf, so it's okay."

After finishing speaking, he pretended to be shy and put his hands in his cuffs. Yan Xiu nodded knowingly, and was shocked by the fact that Pei Xuan's hand was cut by the scriptures. Will such a 'weak' son-in-law be able to protect his daughter well in the future? ?
However, Prince Gong didn't give Yan Xiu too many chances to regret it: "By the way, is the assassin of the Hou's mansion gone? Let me tell you, Lord Hou just offered a reward. Since he was haunting the mansion of Lord Hou and alarmed people last time , then I will definitely not dare to go again in a short period of time. No matter how many soldiers and horses Hou Ye mobilizes, it is useless. It is better to hand it over to the Shuntian Mansion for a reward. If the Hou Ye wants to do this matter, I can immediately do it That's it."

Pei Xuan was just about to sit on the chair beside him, when he heard what his father said, he almost sat sideways, raised his eyes and stared at Prince Gong. :

"Oh, to be honest, although the thief showed up that night, I don't know anything about him except that he is a young man. How can a reward be offered in such a situation, but I think it won't hurt him to go to my house. People, didn’t kill people, I guess they went there to find out some news, if the people behind the scenes didn’t succeed, they will definitely send people there, as long as they can be captured in one fell swoop next time.”

Prince Gong nodded without changing his expression, then compared the teacup to Yan Xiu, and held it up to respect him from the air: "Yes, yes, Lord Hou has experienced a lot of these things, so naturally he has more experience than this king, okay, Since I can't help you, then I wish Lord Hou to catch the thief who explored the mansion as soon as possible, and also find out the people behind him."

Yan Xiu hurriedly served tea in return: "Thank you, my lord, for your words."

Seeing the two old people coming and going, Pei Xuan could only hold a teacup beside him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. After receiving the warning gaze from his father, Pei Xuan touched his nose secretly, and coughed twice indifferently. It was a response.
